Clare & Pat’s day is coming up on April 17th. I love this couple. They are getting hitched and they totally belong together! It’s been a popular request lately, but Union Station & the Museum of Glass are becoming a few of my favorite venues to photograph couples at. Enjoy this selection of images of C&P and their wedding day images will be soon to follow next month! P.S.- Doesn’t Clare resemble this gal a lot? They are sistas and if it weren’t for their age difference I swear they should be twins.
Sometimes I’m just captivated by the mystery. And this soft blur makes their moment so much of their own moment.
A little iPhone Phun.
Normally, I’d edit myself out of reflections, but I’m going to be vain and leave me there!

A few shots from our day trip to Vancouver to experience a little Winter Olympics Spirit…
Closing down for the night and when I was about to quit Lightroom, my eyes grazed this image and I sure connected with it in away I hadn’t when I shot it. Found myself thinkin’ “Yup, me too.”
Here’s to starting tomorrow fresh and clear.
Family portraits are more fun in the snow. We shot with Liz her boyfriend, Briley plus his 2 hyper-active totes, Landon & Tyson on one of the few days it snowed this year. It was cold but that day was definitely the day it felt like Christmas. To start off my story about Liz and Briley, I have to say that they are just so good for each other and Briley is always glowing when he’s eyeing Liz.
Liz & Briley met at New Year’s Eve last year at our house party. That night, Liz surprised me with a gift. She bought each of us a book. Both of us had to write down 10 things to strive for in the coming year. And one of Liz’s accomplishments? “Go on a date with the first guy who asks me out.” : )
Sooo Briley asked her out! And of course, to stay true to her prior commitment, she accepted. Neither Liz and I were successful at completing all 10 of our desires, but I don’t doubt that this decision was by far one of the best she was ever ‘forced’ to make. : ) Now, one year later, they are still together and both are oh so happy. Plus, Briley has his two sons who all the more add to the happiness. Enter my favorite shots from our chilly session at The Museum of Glass…
And then as we called the shoot a wrap and our fingers were blue and eager for some Starbucks, as we walked up the star case leading to the glass bridge, I had a great idea…
Do ya see it?!?! A plaque for all the wonderful people who made donations to the Museum of Glass have been nailed to the stairs. And though Liz, Briley, Tyson and Landon didn’t make a donation, it is pretty awesome. : )
Thanks for a great shoot Liz and Bri! Here’s to another year! Cheers!
It’s finally here! The NEW amykielphotography dot com is finally here! I am so excited to announce it’s launch and there’s so much good stuff to say about it. The images are big! Client proofing and orders are all done in one convenient place, rather than sending you to a third party company! Not to mention, the contact form is pretty spiffy! Overall, the new site is so much more interactive. All the sleepless nights have paid off! Pretty please won’t you stop on by and check out our new look? We would love to hear comments; yahs, nays, and even if anything funky happens while you’re viewing it.
Enjoy and happy viewing!!

2010 is lookin’ pretty awesome so far!
One of the greatest things about spending countless hours working on a new website, is rediscovering the images that make us sooo happy to be doing what we do…
We’re down to the countdown folks! I’m sooo excited to reveal the new AKP dot com!
There’s no denying that when a Bride and dress meet, the result can be one of two things:
“Meh” or “Pure Love at First Sight”
There’s no inbetween. Any wife can vouch for the fact that you either love it…or hate it. When I meet with brides for consultations I often recommend visiting a local bridal boutique. No matter what your price range is, make a consultation, bring your Maid of Honor and even your mother (the 2 people who should be the most honest, loyal women at your side when it comes to planning your big day) and try on as many dresses as possible. Try on different silhouettes, necklines, and even designers. You won’t know what’s the dress for you if you don’t try, right? At these local boutiques, you’ll really get an idea of fit and quality as they always offer only the best in wedding dresses. Here’s a few we especially love…
:: I Do Bridal ::
:: Isadora’s ::
After your consultation (or two) you can determine what you LOVE and most importantly, what you dislike. To help with the budget side of your search, head to this awesome website I just stumbled upon…
:: PreOwnedWeddingDresses ::
Not that I want to detract business from the amazing boutiques like I Do Bridal, but let’s face it- there are lots of brides on a budget and we like helping everyone find resources that works for them, in both the style and budget aspects. You can search by Designer, size, price range, silhouette, neckline, etc and then narrow the search down to your state. I spent about 10 minutes browsing dresses and here are a few styles that caught my eye…
I adore Jenny Lee gowns. They are always so timeless and so lovely. And 70% of the weddings I’ve shot, the brides have had a Maggie Sottero dress! I wonder what it is about Maggie? : )
Happy Shopping! Now go find that dress that puts that special twinkle in your eye! -a.
Photo Phriday just bugged me so now it’s Friday’s Pheature Photo. Today’s photo comes from the archives and is one of my most favorite of photographs…
I got teary. Watch this oh-so-amazing video about how this guy, who loves his girl very very very much, puts the pressure on all other guys to propose like a valedictorian…
